My guess would be your X server and/or graphics card drivers
are causing the X crash.  No matter what an application
does, the X server should not crash--at least in theory.
Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log or whatever
your X server log file is.  There may be something there.

One thing that might solve the crashes would be to disable
DRI/DRM and/or other acceleration options.  Your X config
file would be the place to make those changes.  Of course,
make a backup copy first.

If Suse has the option of booting to a text console rather
than XDM, that can avoid some chicken-and-egg problems while
playing with X config stuff.  With Redhat-related systems,
you use runlevel 3 rather than runlevel 5 to do that, then
use startx to start an X server.
